Where I am right now

Hey guys and girls.

so firstly I’d like to say that I was kindly gifted some free seeds from @homegrowncannabisco 9x Blood Diamond OG.

so I set about soaking as I normally do for 24hours before planting.

I did this with 3 of the BDOG.

At the same time I popped a purple diesel daze and a G13 x Blueberry Headband.

taking us back to the BDOG and nothing sprouted after nearly 2 weeks. During these 2 weeks I soaked another 3. Luckily one of these popped.

so I soaked and planted my final 3 and not one of these popped. So out of 9 BDOG seeds I’ve got 1 plant.

that one plant didn’t grow right to begin with and subsequently looks now like I’ve topped it even though I haven’t lol.

so to recap the 2 large plants in large pots are the G13 and the PPD.

then I have the BDOG survivor in the smaller pot. (Largest plant) and I also cloned the tops of the G13 and PPD so I had a few extra plants in my room.

I was planning on almost 12/12 from seed but due to the BDOG not popping it slowed down my time scale a little.

the clones I took only had 1 week of 18/6 and then the room was switched to 12/12. I’m planning on keeping everything small hence the early 12/12 switch.

the clones finished rooting on 12/12 and we’re transplanted on Sunday just gone with a full root circling effect going on when they were transplanted so I know the roots were A OK.

Current feeding

DUTCH PRO A/B hydro coco grow
Plant magic MagneCal
pH down

I do have some MKP that I’ve made a concentrate with 14g of MKP dissolved into 100ml of water which creates a nute concentrate that increases EC0.1-0.2 Per millilitre used per litre of water.

After 8 years of 24/7 usage (I run fans even when my room is empty) my RVK150A1 has packed in.

so I purchased the equivalent VK fan 150.

Attached using its own brackets included and there is virtually zero vibration transfer which I was pleasantly surprised by.

Not sure what else to include here but fire away any questions you may have?

I started soaking seeds on the 9th November 2020 and they were vegged under a 200w CFL then straight under the 400w HPS once I switched to 12/12.

I may use some bamboo etc to train them slightly or I may just throw a net over each plant and push them down as needed etc to keep canopy height as Level as possible.

clones will be raised up on some stands once they’re growing again after transplant.

tonight is feeding night (every other day at present) and I will take some more pics to show you.

this grow was supposed to be a minimum of 2xBDOG with 1 or 2 others To see what the BDOG was like.

cheers for reading lol.

Just dropping some more pics.

flowering has begun and transition stretch is beginning to slow down.

had a little move around and added a plant ring on the Purple Diese Daze and tied the leaders to the ring.

steaks for the G13xBlueberry headband plant Ring have been added but she’s not tall enough yet as the steaks are to the bottom of the pot. So ring will be added when she’s tall enough to tie onto it.

EC 0.9 every other day watering.

We will see tonight whether the G13xBBH has grown enough to tie to the plant training ring I have ready for her.

t-minus 3 hours until I get to see lol.

What two size pots are those? They look slightly larger than my starter pots. I like those. At some point I want to try a non-cloth pot.

Day something of 12/12 (I really don’t know and don’t really need to care lol)

had to bend over the BDOG, both the PDD and G13 cross have been tied to their rings, as any more nodes pop up enough they’ll be tied off too.

Current environment and feeding etc.

Hey J,,,, Umm. You might have done better by not soaking those... I suspect they drowned.
Pop open un popped seed shells and look to see if they started to sprout.

If so? They had too little H2O dissolved in the water - to carry them to fully opening....This has become a newer thing for some top breeders to tell folks.
You soak them and we won't even listen to your complaint of none viable seeds..

Soak for less time
Never use distilled water to pop beans
Add a few drops of H2O2 to every half ounce water used.

Good to see you around still. Looking good otherwise...

Thanks doc.

tbh it’s never really failed me in 11 years but it could have been over soaking.

point noted.

yeah I’ve been around these parts for a while again lol.

just keeping myself to myself and helping where I can and showing a pic or 2 along the way. Lol.

Really looking forward to seeing what happens with the G13 cross as it’s smelling fire. Back right side with a plant ring (2nd pic)

included some lowest leaf shots for colour purposes of my lower leaves. Nothing fading, nothing showing signs of deficiencies etc. 84A4B8A6-1EBD-43D9-8991-F91FD6C805D0.jpegDB3CE971-84E1-47D4-84C9-8CD58939A048.jpegB73001B0-915C-4704-B6C9-E6566288A558.jpeg39FE9905-D12A-435E-97CE-DE807C54DBFD.jpeg84365094-9B6D-489C-A678-CB468798364C.jpeg617BA27E-7686-4F91-B8A0-87BD2B33FBA6.jpegB2F10A35-AAB8-43F2-91CB-570DA88ED9E2.jpegBE470E94-BDA0-493B-BC86-29C6EDB16343.jpeg

The purple diesel daze leaves are beginning to purple on their own.

This PDD could be a colourful one when she’s finished. We’ll see lol.
